Demeter Clarc Manners Moment: put the phucking phone down

Folks have been seriously out of control with the cell phones for awhile now. Chatting in the car, texting on the train, checking voicemail at lunch, the electronic leash has almost completely choked out authentic face to face communication. Let’s agree the phone should never sit on the table or on your lap during a meal. Who are you? Doogie Fucking Howser, M.D.? You must receive every communication instantaneously?Why not honor the person who is actually in front of you by turning the phone off? Less accessibility = more mystery, so rethink the compulsive availability and occasionally please put the fucking phone down.
